son-in-law Aethelbald [Ref: Searle p343]

crowned and announted on the occasion of her marriage to king Aethelwulf
of Wesex in 856. Aethelwulf conferred on Judith the title of Queen,
which according to Predentius of Troyes was "not customary to him or to
his people." Judith's announting may have been intended in part as a
form of protection. She was after all the first Carolingian princess to
be married to a foreign ruler, and she was at twelve years of age
marrying an elderly man with a clutch of sons older than herself. The
marriage itself has been associated with Charles the Bald's need for
English assistance against the Vikings. [Ref: McKitterick p194]

In 864, thanks to the intervention of Pope Nicholas I, who persuaded
Charles the Bald to acknowledge Baldwin's marriage to his daughter Judith
(the couple had eloped in 860, aided and abetted by Judith's brother
Louis), Ternois and Flanders were added to the countries Baldwin already
held, as well as the lay abbacy of St Peter's Ghent. Dhondt has argued
that the strengthening of Baldwin's position by Charles the Bald was part
of an attempt to defend the kingdom against the Vikings. [Ref: McKitterick
